Defense Contractor IT Services
Secure Technology Satisfying CMMC Requirements And Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information
Defense Contracts Require Rigorous Cybersecurity
Defense contractors handling controlled unclassified information must satisfy stringent CMMC cybersecurity requirements to bid on and maintain DoD contracts. CMMC violations prevent bidding on new contracts eliminating revenue opportunities, failed assessments require expensive remediation under tight timelines, security breaches expose CUI triggering incident reporting and potential contract termination, and inadequate cybersecurity constitutes contractual noncompliance regardless of whether breaches occur.
Sequentur provides IT services designed specifically for defense contractors operating under CMMC requirements and NIST SP 800-171 controls. We implement required security controls, maintain compliance documentation, prepare organizations for CMMC assessments, and ensure technology protects controlled unclassified information satisfying Department of Defense cybersecurity standards governing defense industrial base participants.

How We Achieve CMMC Compliance For You
Our defense contractor approach combines CMMC expertise, NIST 800-171 implementation, CUI protection, and assessment preparation. These elements work together ensuring technology satisfies DoD cybersecurity requirements while supporting effective contract performance and enabling participation in defense programs requiring specific CMMC levels.
01
Control Implementation
We implement NIST SP 800-171 security controls including access control, awareness training, audit logging, configuration management, identification and authentication, incident response, maintenance, media protection, personnel security, physical protection, risk assessment, security assessment, system protection, and system integrity controls.
02
CUI Protection
We protect controlled unclassified information through encryption, access restrictions, network segmentation, secure storage, and monitoring. CUI protection prevents unauthorized access to sensitive defense information while enabling appropriate sharing with government customers and prime contractors.
03
Documentation Management
We maintain compliance documentation including system security plans, policies and procedures, assessment results, incident response plans, and evidence demonstrating control implementation. Documentation satisfies CMMC assessment requirements proving controls are implemented and operating effectively.
04
Assessment Preparation
We prepare organizations for CMMC assessments through gap analysis, remediation planning, implementation verification, evidence collection, and coordination with certified assessors. Preparation ensures successful assessments resulting in CMMC certification required for contract awards.

CMMC Noncompliance Eliminates Contract Opportunities
Defense contractors cannot bid on contracts requiring CMMC certification without valid assessments at required levels. Noncompliance eliminates revenue opportunities as DoD increasingly requires CMMC across programs. Failed assessments require expensive emergency remediation under assessment timelines. Security incidents involving CUI trigger mandatory reporting, investigations, and potential contract termination destroying relationships with government customers.
Professional defense contractor IT services prevent these catastrophic outcomes through proper NIST 800-171 implementation, comprehensive CUI protection, and thorough assessment preparation. Specialized CMMC expertise ensures contractors satisfy requirements enabling contract participation while protecting controlled information appropriately.
CMMC Requirements Demand Specialized Expertise
Generic IT providers lack CMMC knowledge, NIST 800-171 implementation experience, understanding of CUI handling requirements, and familiarity with DoD cybersecurity expectations. These inexperienced providers cannot properly implement required controls, maintain assessment documentation, or prepare organizations for CMMC assessments. Generic approaches create compliance gaps triggering assessment failures.
Sequentur specializes in defense contractor IT with extensive CMMC and NIST 800-171 experience supporting organizations across CMMC levels. We understand DoD cybersecurity requirements, CUI protection obligations, and assessment expectations that generic providers cannot address properly. CMMC expertise ensures successful assessments and appropriate CUI protection.
NIST 800-171 Implementation
Deploying Required Security Controls
NIST 800-171 implementation deploys 110 security controls protecting controlled unclassified information as required for CMMC certification. Sequentur implements access control restricting CUI to authorized users, deploys audit logging tracking CUI access, establishes configuration management maintaining secure baselines, implements identification and authentication, deploys incident response capabilities, establishes media protection, configures system protections, and implements remaining control families.
NIST 800-171 controls provide comprehensive CUI protection addressing access control, awareness, auditing, configuration, identification, incident response, maintenance, media, personnel, physical, risk, assessment, system, and communications protection. Professional implementation ensures controls are configured properly, operate effectively, and satisfy CMMC assessment requirements.

CUI Identification And Segregation
Separating Controlled Information From Other Data
CUI identification and segregation separates controlled unclassified information from other business data enabling focused protection. Sequentur establishes CUI identification procedures, implements network segmentation isolating CUI systems, deploys separate storage for controlled information, restricts CUI access to authorized personnel, and maintains separation throughout the information lifecycle. Segregation focuses security controls on systems actually processing CUI.
CUI segregation reduces compliance scope by limiting CMMC requirements to systems processing controlled information rather than entire networks. Proper segregation enables organizations to implement required controls cost-effectively, reduces assessment scope and cost, and prevents CUI from inadvertently spreading to uncontrolled systems creating compliance violations.

System Security Plans
Documenting Security Implementations For Assessments
System security plans document security controls implemented protecting CUI as required for CMMC assessments. Sequentur develops comprehensive SSPs describing system boundaries, documenting control implementations, explaining how controls satisfy requirements, identifying control assessment methods, and maintaining plans current as systems evolve. SSPs provide primary documentation assessors review during CMMC certification.
System security plans demonstrate to assessors that required controls are implemented and operating effectively. Comprehensive SSPs explain security architecture, document policies and procedures, describe technical implementations, and provide evidence supporting control effectiveness. Quality documentation streamlines assessments by clearly demonstrating compliance rather than forcing assessors to investigate implementations.

Provides primary documentation for CMMC assessments
CMMC Assessment Preparation
Ensuring Successful Certification Processes
CMMC assessment preparation ensures organizations achieve successful certification through gap analysis, remediation planning, control verification, evidence collection, and assessor coordination. Sequentur conducts readiness assessments identifying gaps, develops remediation plans addressing deficiencies, verifies controls operate effectively, collects assessment evidence, and coordinates with certified third-party assessment organizations ensuring smooth assessment processes.
Assessment preparation prevents failures requiring expensive remediation and reassessment. Thorough preparation identifies and addresses gaps before formal assessments, ensures evidence demonstrates control effectiveness, and prepares personnel for assessor interviews. Preparation typically results in successful first-time assessments avoiding delays and additional costs from failed attempts.
